Executive Committee of the Second International Exhibition of 
the Republic of Chili, resident in the United States, and com- 
prises all of those portions of the Bulletin issued bj the Execu-

nt£rna:ti0nal fe]^il)iti0n in ftili. 



In 1875. 



The Government of the Republic of Chili has decreed the 
opening of an Exhibition at Santiago on the 16th of September, 
1875, to which there will be admitted not only the natural 
products and manufactures of that country, but those which 
may be sent from any part of America or Europe. This de- 
creed convention has a double object ; first, to show the pro- 
gress which this Republic has made since the first Exhibition 
in 1869, and second, to stimulate, by means of the exhibition, 
to new productions and new industries ; to encourage improved 
styles of labor, and the general development of national re- 
sources and commerce. 

Chili, a country new^ and extremely rich, naturally needs to 
improve the cultivation of her soil ; to develop the mineral 
wealth which abounds in her territory ; to encourage those in- 
dustries which will transform these products and enlarge the 
knowledge already acquired ; and this she hopes to accomiDlish 
by means of the exhibition of inventions that have been used 
by more advanced nations. 

It is intended by the International Exhibition of Chili to 
open new fountains for the development of the agricultural 
and manufacturing interests of the country, and to contribute, 
in the most practical way, to increase its present commerce 



6 THE SECOND 

with the nations of America, and with the principal markets 
of Europe. 

The Kepublic of Chili is situated between the great moun- 
tain range of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean ; has an exten- 
sive sea coast and numerous harbors, which afford great facili- 
ties both for the exportation of its varied products of the soil 
and the mine, and the importation of the commodities required 
from other countries. 

In the interior of the country the means of communication 
are easy and rapid, either by navigable rivers or by substantial 
and well appointed railroads. There are at this time 1,264 
kilometres of railroads in Chili in running condition, and 340 
more under contract, and in a fair way to be completed at no 
distant day. The greater part of these roads belong to 
the State. The territory is also crossed by telegraph lines 
to the extent of 2,515 kilometres. Numerous steamship 
companies keep up a constant intercourse between the 
most important port of the Republic, Valparaiso, the 
principal ports of Europe, and the eastern and western 
coast of America. The South Pacific Steam ISTaviga- 
tion Company sends out a steamer weekly via the Straits of 
Magellan, or via the Isthmus of Panama, from Valparaiso to 
Liverpool, and the White Star Line twice a month by the 
former of these routes. Between Bordeaux and Valparaiso 
the General Transatlantic Company and a private line main- 
tain also a permanent service. The German line, Kosmos, 
makes trips twice a month, increasing the business, which is 
rapidly growing, between Hamburg and Valparaiso, and finally 
the Antwerp line has inaugurated a monthly line with Chili 
that will add a new link to our commercial intercourse with 
Europe. 

The coasting trade is greatly enlarged by the national mer- 
cantile marine, and principally by the Compania Sud- Ameri- 
can a de Vapores, supported by Chilian capitalists, who have 
already extended their line from the port of Coral to Calhio, 
and will extend it to Panama in 1874. 



INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. 7 

The amount of foreign trade of Chili for 1872 was $71,780,- 
388; of which $34,637,928 were imports and $37,122,460 
were exports. In that year the imports exceeded those of 
187j by $5,130,767, and the exports $8,026,048. 

The geographical situation of Chili, between 24° and 57° 
south latitude, the variety of its climate, generally temperate, 
and the fertility of its soil, maintained by the perennial flow of 
numerous streams and rivers, which have their source in the 
Cordilleras, produce a natural richness of the soil that could 
not be improved by the best manure. That fertility favors, in 
great measure, the production of cereals, all kinds of grain in 
great abundance, and natural grasses, and the greatest variety 
of fruit in the world. 

The streams and rivers, on account of the peculiar topo- 
graphical formation of the country, present, in nearly all parts 
of it, natural falls, which may be utilized for all kinds of hy- 
draulic power. 

Agriculture is well developed — farmers, in the different 
operations of cultivation and harvest, making use of machines 
of the most recent inventions. 

The hemp, flax and silk produced in this country are of the 
best quality. 

The cultivation of cereals is carried on on a large scale, and 
they are exported in large amounts to the neighboring States 
on the South Pacific, and to the principal ports of Great Brit- 
ain and the Continent of Europe, in which markets Chilian 
wheat ranks high. 

The crop of wheat in 1872 was 504,677,758 litres, and that 
of barley 62,973,661 litres. 

The value of the agricultural products exported in that year 
amounted to $12,108,698. 

The mines, another of the great fountains of wealth of the 
country, are remarkable the world over for the abundance and 
variety of their products. 

The production of copper alone in Chili is equal to two-thirds 
of the ^deld of all the rest of the world. 



8 THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. 

The silver mines of Copiapo, of Hiiasco, and other poini 
are also famous for their richness, and in several localities abnr\ 
dant placers of gold are fonnd. Finally, Chili possesses con\ 
siderable deposits of coal throughout the whole extent of her, 
long coast, of which a large number of mines are being worked 
on a large scale ; and in the southern coal region the rich and 
abundant veins of iron which are found open a vast field for 
new industries. 

In 1872 the value of Chilian minerals exported to Europe 
amounted to $17,239,993. 

The financial institutions of the Republic of Chili have 
j^lready obtained a high state of development, and, owing to 
the powerful impulse of the spirit of association, the majority 
of these enterprises have very efficaciously contributed to the 
improvement and progress of the country. The figures below 
will show the importance of the enterprises realized by some 
of these associations : 

N'ominal Capital. Capital paid in. 
Banks of emission, discount, &c.. . . $75,000,000 $18,400,000 

Railroads (private enterprises) 15,923,000 15,473,000 

Steamers, sailing vessels, &c 6,946,000 4,051,000 

Fire insurance, marine, &c 14,000,000 1,300,000 

Saltpetre companies (nirate of soda) 3,700,000 2,734,000 

Mining do 22,200,000 1 4,660,000 

Industrial do 6,503,000 4,390,000 

$144,272,000 $61,008,000 

The profound peace which Chili has enjoyed during a great 
number of years, the spirit of activity and enterprise of her 
people, the great success and stability which have distin- 
guished the institutions of credit and the industrial enterprises, 
the result, in great part, of the association of capital, lead us to 
expect that the Exhibition which is in course of preparation 
for 1875 will give a j)owerful impulse to the improvement of 
the country, extending its relations, political and commercial, 
among all the civilized peoples of the earth.

six months after the close of the Exhibition, they will be sold 
at auction to pay charges. 

Catalogue. — Under direction of the commission will be 
published a general catalogue that will contain the enumera- 
tion of all the articles exhibited. Those exhibitors who may 
wish to put in it any special explanations, diagrams or engrav- 
ings of their machinery or other articles exhibited, can do so
